We need patients and families like you to help us understand what your needs and priorities are when it comes to care and service, and to give us your perspectives in what we do well, and what we could be doing better. We are looking for Partners from all backgrounds, age groups, and experiences. Parents, guardians, current patients, former patients, siblings, grandparents, partners, sons, daughters, other support persons. All your voices are important and needed.
We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our community and the many baby hats, finger puppets, comfort dolls, and quilts we’ve received. Your kindness truly makes a meaningful difference for our patients and their families.
While we continue to pause the acceptance of most in-kind donations as we thoughtfully manage our inventory, we are currently in need of finger puppets.
